Would this lens be good for food photos? null

Yes but a macro lens would likely yield better results than a fixed prime. Using a tripod gives you the benefit of not needing OSS so a macro or zoom lets you focus/frame your shot without moving the tripod/camera. Assuming you have lighting setup to use a short zoom or macro would be my choice for paid work.

This lens will do the job in short order. Very sharp and clear.

Yes if will be good for food photos. but you need to walk a little further back to get the the subject inside the frame. you just have to be creative. 35mm 1.4 is ideal for your application. but ive done it with this lens and it produced superb results.

Hi eatthisdish, yes, this portrait lens is perfect for shooting people or food. The high aperture value allows you to get nice bokeh. Thanks_Mitch
